The Town of Odyssey

After the Telemachus episodes I really wanted to read Foxe's Book of Martyrs. I couldn't find the original book in my library, but I did find a updated version of the original called The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs. I found the book very moving and thought provoking. Has anyone else read the book?

How ironic. My Dad's reading it and wants the rest of our family to follow suit.

I've read it and found it quite interesting. It really puts things in perspective and makes you greatful for living in this time and not back then. On a side note, my pastor actually has a vintage 19th Century copy of Foxe's Book of Martyrs and it's in pretty good condition.

I almost did, but a lot of the stories in that book are also in the Jesus Freaks books put out by DCTalk and Voice of the Martyrs. THey took the stories, plus modern day ones and translated htem all into modern english. It's pretty awesome.
